Mr Dobranich
I know that you feel that you do not have to explain yourself to an exile, but please could you explain your comment :-
"wait till the post gay boys latch on to you"
if this is meant in a homophobic context, I will be highly insulted.
if it is a typo, accept my apologies and please post what it should read.

dobranich, your posts are the worst on here. You are generally not a nice person. Why?
Its clear that you hate yourself, and that's understandable, however, if you were to extend a hand to those that try to help you, maybe you could live a better more fulfilled life.
Life is like a game of golf dobranich, as you well know.

Yorkie your posts are among the best on here. Noone can know really what the Owners will do if we don't go up. I hope you are right and they stick with Pearson. He is doing ok. I think it's the best chance of hanging onto the talent. I believe if he went some of the better players may follow suit. As someone said he seems to be genuine. He may be blunt and arrogant but so have a lot of winners been in sport.

David Jones' comment was not said with any forethought and is based upon the media drive in support of the belief that the Owners are desperate for Premiership football.
We are all desperate for Prem football, but not at "any cost". Sven's squad building was correct in principle but his choice of players was poor and we became a laughing stock with the prices we were forced to pay.
Had we gone up last season we would have had a squad of older players without the hunger to succeed at the higher level, just the desire to receive the enhanced wages.
Now we have spent money on the pitch (yet again), we have a vastly improved training complex and we have a re-vitalised scouting policy and an Academy to be proud of. We have young hungry players playing as a squad, not as a group of individuals, all of whom have been accumulated at a fraction of the prices paid for the misfits from last year.
The team is not yet the finished article, but looks good enough to earn promotion God-willing. New players will inevitably be needed to be drafted in to give us the experience to blend with the youth if we are to stay there.
Yes we all want promotion, and yes we may well have the squad to do it.
In my opinion however the Ownership will see the massive benefits already being shown in the togetherness of the squad, and the benefits that provides in results and confidence building. Even if we slip at the last hurdle I believe that the Ownership would stay with the current formula because if we can keep the players together we would be a nailed on certainty for promotion the following year.
The future is bright either way.
